6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we introduced the competitive grouping algorithm which is at the core of the ISA phrase alignment model. As an extension to the competitive linking algorithm which is used for word-to-word alignment, CGA overcomes the assumption of one-to-one mapping and makes it possible to align phrase  pairs. Despite its simplicity, the ISA model has achieved competitive translation results. We plan to release ISA toolkit4 to the community in the near future.</Paragraph>
